Panagiota Romios Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Grateful For Each Breath

9/22/2023

      Just like the lake of melting wax, on a candle gives off light,
      Life is not about championing the selfish, golden  prize!
      Hopefully, I stay thankful with all my  earthy might.
      And, pray that I may one day, be welcome to Paradise.

 
      I know how circuitous and bizarre life can be on this earth.
      There are bright poet-angels on this firmament to support you.
      But you, poets, know how cherished you were since birth.
      Through at time..others are so disingenuously untrue!


      From me comes deepest, soul-aqueous blue, appreciation
      Blessed by waterfall.  lessons on life, I studiously learned.
      Transformations, not spigots of information.
      And I know, you each will get all you truly deserved.

David Fisher September 24, 2023 at 4:40 PM This is a beauty! Yes, your thankfulness, and humbleness come out in poems like this; of course in a creative way. Sometimes it seems like a well written poem is a bit of paradise in itself. We're lucky! Please check soupmail. Panagiota Romios September 24, 2023 at 5:18 PM Hello, dear David! Please excuse me?

Victor Buhagiar September 24, 2023 at 2:27 AM Change is always good when we try our best to walk in God's footsteps. Not easy for many, but God is compassionate and loves those who transgress. A great poem with spiritual over tones. Panagiota Romios September 24, 2023 at 8:35 AM Always great to hear from you!. Spirituality is written about by some poets here openly. I don’t know if God loves murderers or rapists. There is a special place for them unless they repent. But as you said, in sentence one, change is good when we walk in his footsteps . To which I will add…in humility. Thank you. Pangie xx
